Background and Analysis:
In 2016, the City acquired approximately 72 acres on Boulevard Road. About 59 acres are dedicated to City park land, and about 2.8 acres are dedicated to the future extension of the Log Cabin Road from Boulevard Road to Wiggins Road. The remaining portion of the property (about 10 acres) is located adjacent to Boulevard Road and was set aside for the development of multi-family housing and possibly some neighborhood-oriented commercial uses.
The City Council has requested that the City form a stakeholder work group made up of different representatives from City advisory committees. This work group will focus on the 10 acre parcel adjacent to Boulevard Road. The work group's task is to provide City staff and the City Council Land Use and Environment Committee:
* A project vision
* A recommended set of objectives to guide a Request for Proposals and selection process
The work group will likely meet a total of six times. There will likely be four work sessions and two community engagement sessions.
The BPAC may choose to send one person and an alternate to serve in the stakeholder work group. Depending on the size of the final work group, both people may be offered a seat.
